Kerr-resonance-condition-coupled enhancement in magneto-optic media

Cyclotron frequency coupled enhancement of Kerr rotation in low refractive index-dielectric/magneto-optic bilayer thin-film structures

Enhancement of the Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in One- Dimensional Magnetophotonic Crystals with Adjustable Spatial Configuration

We studied magnetophotonic crystals (MPCs) with introduced magneticdefect layer sandwiched between magnetic and dielectric Bragg mirrors. Thesemagnetophotonic crystals have excellent capabilities to enhance reflection and Kerrrotation simultaneously. By adjusting spatial configuration such as repetition numbersof Bragg mirrors and thickness of magnetic defect layer, we a...

Analytic propagation matrix method for anisotropic magneto-optic layered media

Simplified analytic expressions are derived for the optical propagation matrix of magnetic anisotropic Kerr media using the Lagrange–Sylvester interpolation polynomial. This expression is used to investigate magnetic Kerr films in Fabry–Pérot configurations, magneto-optic recording quadrilayers and alternating periodic stacks. It is found that the magneto-optic reflection coefficients are enhan...

Longitudinal Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in Ce:YIG Thin Films Incorporating Gold Nanoparticles

We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...

Au/Fe/Au multilayer transducers for magneto-optic surface plasmon resonance sensing

In this paper, we analyze the magnetoplasmonic MP features and sensing capabilities of Au/Fe/Au trilayer structures, as transducers of the magneto-optic surface plasmon resonance MOSPR biosensor. This biosensor, which can surpass the sensitivity of the standard SPR sensor, is based on a MP modulation technique generated by the simultaneous stimulation of the surface plasmon polaritons SPP and t...
